"Great shoes! Very comfortable and durable. Good value for the money, especially when purchasing clearance. I will buy Hoka One Ones again!"burner2
Fit
I tried a different style of Hokas before settling on these. The other pair pressed against the top of one of my feet. However, the Bondis fit nice and snugly with no pressure points.
Comfort
Very comfortable! I tried other brands before purchasing these, just to be sure I wanted to stick with Hokas. (I didn't have any complaints about my Hoka Stinsons; I just wanted to see what else was available.) And sure enough, I came back to the Hokas. They're so lightweight and comfortable and provide the extra cushioning my bad knee and hips need.
Durability
Extremely durable. I expect to get at least 500 miles out of these.
Value
I buy clearance to save a few bucks. It gives me the best value for the money, and why would I care if I'm wearing the previous year's model? However, even if I didn't find these on clearance, I still would have shelled out full price for them. You just can't put a price tag on the health and comfort of your feet!
Appearance
A wider selection of colors would be nice, but...whatever.
Customer Service
I bought mine from REI, which has just about the best return policy ever. I ordered a couple pairs of shoes from them, and they had no issues at all when I returned those that didn't fit well.
Performance
The performance is mostly mine, but I believe I perform better wearing these shoes. They provide a lot of arch support for my flat feet, and cushioning for my arthritic knee and hips.
Strengths
Quality and comfort.
Weakness
I haven't found a weakness.

Quality of Construction
This is my second pair of Hoka One Ones. I had Stinson Tarmacs last year and really liked them, but they are out of production now, so I bought the Bondi 3s this year. My Stinsons stood up well, with about 500 miles on them before I replaced them. I can tell I will get at least 500 miles on my Bondis, as well.
